WARNING: Think I was scammed by Norcal86
Norcal86 responded to my "WTB:UEL HEADER" thread saying he was getting rid of his car and offered to sell me his Borla UEL header. I agreed and made payment via Paypal. He said he would be removing it this past weekend and mail it out Saturday or Monday. He told me he would update me when it shipped. It's now going on Thursday and he's not answering my Pm's or emails...
Should have just ordered the Tomei UEL from Evasive Motorsports like I originally planned...

I would wait at least until Friday... also might be a little premature to make a post claiming you were scammed some people get busy.
However, if you have been scammed (still skeptical) just do a paypal dispute and they'll get you your money back.

You're not the only one. He took payments from me, @MrTranxD, and @Cop for OFTs that he was selling. He hasn't responded to any of us since last Wednesday and we have already filed dispute.

This is what I was looking for....I knew he was "selling" other products to other members. Want to say glad I'm not alone but at the same time I don't. Sorry to hear it I filed one too..

So he took 3 payments for 2 tablets he was selling? Definitely scammed everyone.

Add @drambo136 to the list. Similar to me and Squishy, we made the payment to Norcal86 and haven't heard a word from him since.

Yeah, never do Paypal to buy something by doing a giving of money. No recourse there. Sorry you guys were scammed.

I think he meant to say gifting instead of giving.

Then you were smart. You can, however, gift people money and not take a fee. However, you lose all recourse when you do that. My brother gifted me money to pay for a track day once, my birthday present, and there was no fee for me to receive the money. There's just no way for him to stop the transaction once I accept it.

I think that makes 5 people. Add @jester04 to the list. As long as none of us gifted him the money, well be fine. Just file a claim on paypal and you should be fine.
